Abstract

Between 1837 and 1840, governor and chief John Adams Kuakini engaged in cotton farming and cloth production, the first Hawaiian to ever do so. His success in running a cloth-making operation was not done alone, however, but with the guidance from New England Congregationalist missionaries who introduced homespun to Kuakini and hired foreigners and makaʻāinana men and women labourers. This article explores Kuakini’s motivations for investing in cloth-making through the lens of his chiefly power, with special attention to the ways in which Kuakini asserted dominance over those who challenged him and those he believed were subservient to him. I examine Kuakini’s motivations and foray into cloth-making, which differed greatly from Congregational Christian ideas about cloth-making, further demonstrating how Kuakini’s power in the early Hawaiian Kingdom extended over both native and foreign bodies.

土布的变革:19世纪早期夏威夷布制造业的力量和创造力
1837年至1840年间,州长兼酋长约翰·亚当斯·库阿基尼(John Adams Kuakini)从事棉花种植和布料生产,是有史以来第一位这样做的夏威夷人。然而,他经营布料生产的成功并不是一个人完成的,而是在新英格兰公理会传教士的指导下完成的,他们向库阿基尼介绍了土布,并雇佣了外国人和makaāinana男女劳工。本文从库阿基尼主要权力的角度探讨了他投资织布的动机,特别关注库阿基尼对那些挑战他的人和他认为服从他的人的统治。我研究了Kuakini对布料制作的动机和尝试,这与基督教公理会关于布料制作的想法有很大不同,进一步证明了Kuakiini在夏威夷王国早期的权力是如何延伸到本土和外国的。
